I mean that part makes sense. This is essentially the exact same community. Linux users will spread to any “general” Linux community on the web.
I’m a staff software engineer at Sunrun, the USA’s largest residential solar installer.
I mostly work with kotlin, but also java, python, ruby, javascript, typescript. My hobby is picking up new hobbies. Currently bird photography and camping.

It’s pretty hard to fit all of what you just said into a meme. For example your meme does not say that windows users are “dismissing any alternative out of hand”. It says windows users that refuse to switch. Maybe they hate windows but they literally must use Fusion 360 or AutoDesk or Meshmixer or RealityCapture or one of the numerous other software options that just do not work on windows.
Anyway, if what your meme is actually about is people that only use the browser and then refuse to switch but still constantly complain then yeah you’re dead on.
No I’m talking about complaining about the problems you’re having with Linux not asking for help with anything. It’s literally happened in this exact community here, where people ask what issues people encounter with Linux, and if I (or others) say I have any issues I get downvoted to hell.
Yeah it’s super weird, if you go to a specific forum for help, like cachyos or bazzite, the community is bearable, and sometimes very helpful without being rude. But if you go to a general forum and state you’re having any issues with Linux you’ll be downvoted to hell and told Linux is still better than windows.
with fzf you get better grep with fuzzy search
works in fish shell as well.
I struggled with WinApps as well. wasn’t ever able to get gpu passthrough working either, and trying to do so really destabilized my computer. I pretty much gave up. That’s not to say that WinApps doesn’t work. It does, it’s just not near native for me. There’s definitely slowness, at least with Lightroom, I haven’t tested with PS yet, though I have installed it.

Linux@programming.dev•Linux is now 34 years old. Happy Birthday!
2·5 months agoYeah defining an announcement of something as its birthday is weird. I’m also biased on this, cause it came out on my birthday.





I did. Didn’t function at all. Had a ton of issues with the sound card and the nvidia graphics driver also shit the bed multiple times and many games didn’t work. Same for mint though.
